When a jaded hit-man takes a contract to kill a beautiful woman, even the most innocent viewer can see where this is going. The twist in this film is that Tom Sizemore isn't his usual sleazy self. Almost, but not quite. Although the performances are all well done, the scenario is so contrived and implausible that it's difficult to watch it unfold. And talk about rule-breakers! When the woman early on shows us what a dead shot she is, you just know she's going to have to put that skill to good use later on...but it never happens. It's also hard to believe the beautiful woman could wander around for a day or two completely unaware of a man intently watching her every move. Come on! Women have a built-in radar for that sort of stuff. Even the ending was unsatisfying as well as unbelievable.
